[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1160125, member: 82144"] Yes, closed captions for analog TV are carried in the vertical blanking interval information. Closed captions for digital TV are carried differently. It is difficult to give a straight yes/no answer with the information I have available to me. First, I don't think teletext is available/used in the US or Canada, so you shouldn't expect that to work.
